"textContent": "The AI narrative that confronts PR practitioners every day tends to be one of total transformation. Yet the reality for most large organisations is cautious, pilot-driven implementation. Enterprise-scale transformation is still rare, with only a small percentage of companies feeling they have reached an advanced stage of AI adoption.\n\nThis was the issue that comms leaders sought to unpack in a roundtable discussion sponsored by **Penta Group** at Cannes last week. Led by Arun Sudhaman, founding editor of **Earned First** , the group included:\n\n * Abhinav Kumar, global CMO, Tata Consultancy Services\n * Caitlin O'Neill, director of corporate communications, IBM\n * Damon Jones, CCO, P&G\n * Eleanor Hawkins, head of policy communications, Reflection.ai\n * Jamie McLaughlin, founder and CEO, Monday Talent\n * Jeff Donald, communications lead, R&D / regulatory medical, safety and compliance, Bayer\n * Jim O'Leary, CEO, Penta Group\n * Michelle Masek, founder and CEO, Honeyjar\n * Nidhi Sinha, executive director of global communications, Boston Consulting Group\n * Nishita Virkar, head of strategic communications, Abu Dhabi Department of Culture and Tourism\n * Paul Millman, creative marketing lead, Commonwealth Fusion\n * Tina McCorkindale, president and CEO, IPR\n\n\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
